Schroeck Department of Mathematics John Greene Hall, 2360 S. Gaylord St. University of Denver, Denver, USA E-Mail: fschroec@du.edu Abstract The scientific fields of quantum mechanics and signal-analysis origi- nated within different settings, aimed at different goals and started from different scientific paradigms. Yet the development of the two subjects has become increasingly intertwined. We argue that these similarities are rooted in the fact that both fields of scientific inquiry had to deal with finding a single description for a phenomenon that yields complete information about itself only when we consider mutu- ally incompatible accounts of that phenomenon. Keywords: quantum probability, signal analysis, incompatible observables, observation, global view. 1 Introduction Can we find a single common framework for all knowledge that in some way converges to the truth, or should we perhaps accept that truth is inevitably 1 only meaningful with respect to the one who pronounces it, to the context in which it is produced, to the frame of reference it is presented in? The simple question we pose here is well-known to lead to endless discussion on the nature of reality and knowledge, the relation between ontology and epistemology and between theory and fact. This discussion itself is an il- lustration of the dichotomic status of truth. The various stances taken by the participants in the discussion contribute to the idea of a relative truth, but the mere fact that we are still discussing the issue, high
